Mining companies
Dear St Catherine's College, Oxford,
This is a request under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. I would like to request the following information:
For the calendar years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, I would like to be provided with details on accepted donations, gifts, grants, sponsorships, scholarships and funding (including research funding and teaching funding, as well as funding for university staff and professorships) that have come from mining companies. For each, I would like the following information:
- The name of the mining company that gave the donation, gift, grant, sponsorship, scholarship or funding
- The start and end date of the donation, gift, grant, sponsorship, scholarship or funding if available
- The sum and description of the accepted donation, gift, grant, sponsorship, scholarship and funding
- A description of what the donation, gift, grant, sponsorship, scholarship and funding was used for
If your records are held in such a way where it is difficult to search by sector (e.g. mining), then I am happy to narrow the request to the following companies:
BHP / BHP Billiton
Rio Tinto
Anglo American
Glencore
I would like to receive this information in an Excel format. If you feel that a substantive response to this request is not possible within a reasonable time frame, I would be grateful if you could contact me and provide assistance as to how I can refine the request. If you need any clarification, please contact me. I look forward to receiving a response in 20 working days. Many thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Jenna Corderoy
